51 Across · WSJ Crossword, May 26, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer
ADE
ADE (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Finish for Gator or hater” is ADE. It appears as 51 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 26, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Counter Offers” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 11, column 10 of the 15×15 grid.

The clue is a straightforward definition, so the answer is a direct synonym or a factual match for the words as written. The entry begins with A and ends with E, and contains 2 vowels and 1 consonant. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
